Bonus Terms Explained

Bonus offers can look generous at first glance, but the fine print determines how much value they actually deliver. This page explains, in general terms, the conditions most online gaming platforms attach to their promotions. These are educational explanations of common industry practices — always check the specific terms of the platform you use, since rules vary widely.

Wagering Requirements

A wagering (or "playthrough") requirement is the number of times you must bet the bonus amount — and sometimes the deposit too — before any winnings can be withdrawn. For example, a 20x wagering requirement on a ₱500 bonus means ₱10,000 in total bets must be placed first.

Minimum Deposit & Bet Requirements

Many bonuses require a minimum deposit to unlock, and some also set a minimum bet size that qualifies toward wagering requirements. Bets below the minimum may not count.

Bonus Expiry

Bonuses typically expire after a set period (commonly 7–30 days). If wagering requirements aren't met before the deadline, the bonus and any related winnings are usually forfeited.

Game Weighting / Contribution

Not all games contribute equally to wagering requirements. Slots often contribute 100%, while table games, live casino, and certain high-RTP titles may contribute a smaller percentage — or not count at all.

Maximum Bet While a Bonus Is Active

Platforms often cap the maximum bet allowed per spin or round while a bonus balance is active. Exceeding this cap can void the bonus and any winnings from it.

Withdrawal Caps on Bonus Winnings

Some promotions place a ceiling on how much can be withdrawn from bonus-related winnings, regardless of how much was actually won.

Bonus Abuse & Multiple Accounts

Creating multiple accounts to claim the same bonus repeatedly is against the terms of virtually every platform and can result in forfeited winnings or account suspension.
